[Stardust]

Dang too many seniors. What do you do with all of them?

I'm pretty confident that these kids know what their roles are so much better than what any of us are used to. I would anticipate that these young men are drilled similar to military training in that its for the whole and not the individual. With 300 players, 60 seniors, you every single one of these players know exactly what is expected of them. The star QB understands and accepts his role, in the same fashion as the 6th string QB who may never see a down on a Friday night. You and I may have no comprehension as to why an individual would commit to something like this, but then again, it must be more like the military in that 1. You want to see unit success above all else; 2. You are committed to your teammate as much as you are yourself; 3. You accept your role, for what it is Monday through Thursday, not for the pure purpose of Friday.

The number also dictates that you want to be a part of the event and the "Team", it's almost like a social event. In other schools, there is the pep-club and the chess club. At schools like X, you have the Football Club.
